Nitrozac's recovery has been going slowly but surely. She had a stent removed last week and that has made her feel much better, so this is great news.

We've been working on a Joy of Tech sticker pack for iPhone, that's been fun and hopefully it will be available soon.

Unfortunately, our financial situation has not improved. I'll have to cancel our dedicated server and move our website to a cheaper shared plan this month, I'm not looking forward to that. Our Patreon growth has pretty much stalled, so we need to re-examine what we're offering as incentives, or perhaps we've just reached peak Patreon. If any of you have any thoughts, we'd appreciate them.

On that note, we are available for illustrations, portraits, or commissioned paintings. If you're looking for super cool accompaniments to an article or book, or a wonderful Christmas gift perhaps, please let us know.

Thanks again for your support, we really appreciate it.

I'm very glad to hear of improving news for Nitrozac! I hope you bounce back stronger than ever, which given your stellar outlook, seems certain.

I'm less glad to hear about the other side of things. :/ Think there's some way a static archive could be stowed away somewhere? I wish I was still at my old employer, where I had toy servers that I could repurpose as I see fit. These days, I work in a fairly regulated environment, and web-facing stuff is under heavy scrutiny, so short of donating a cloud server that I don't actually have, I have little in the way of computing services to lend.
